Towers and Ramparts







We climbed to the top of the towers and ramparts where guards would have been stationed. We climbed up a long, very long series of narrow spiral staircases to the top. After I carried Aidan around and around to to the top, I set him down as I was panting and sweating and he yelled, "I made it!" He did and I almost didn't! In the last shot, in the distance, you can see the trebuchet, a huge catapult used to protect the castle. They still use it for demonstrations.
